# Cooling Intakes
|
|
|
|
A cooling intake is a device component which consumes coolant, such as a server cold-plate inlet or a coolant distribution unit (CDU) intake. It **receives** coolant from the cold, supply side of a loop (see [cooling](../../features/cooling.md) for the overall flow model). A cooling intake optionally references the upstream [cooling outflow](./coolingoutflow.md) which supplies it.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip
|
|
Like most device components, cooling intakes are instantiated automatically from [cooling intake templates](./coolingintaketemplate.md) assigned to the selected device type when a device is created.
|
|
|
|
## Fields
|
|
|
|
### Device
|
|
|
|
The device to which this cooling intake belongs.
|
|
|
|
### Module
|
|
|
|
The installed module within the assigned device to which this cooling intake belongs (optional).
|
|
|
|
### Name
|
|
|
|
The name of the cooling intake. Must be unique to the parent device.
|
|
|
|
### Label
|
|
|
|
An alternative physical label identifying the cooling intake.
|
|
|
|
### Connector Type
|
|
|
|
The physical coolant connector type (e.g. UQD, UQDB, QDC, camlock, or threaded NPT/BSP).
|
|
|
|
### Diameter
|
|
|
|
The connector diameter, expressed as a numeric value with a selectable unit (millimeters, centimeters, or inches). Must be a positive, non-zero value in the selected unit, or left blank.
|
|
|
|
### Maximum Flow
|
|
|
|
The maximum coolant flow rate this port supports, expressed as a numeric value with a selectable unit (liters per minute, cubic meters per hour, or gallons per minute). Must be a positive, non-zero value in the selected unit, or left blank.
|
|
|
|
### Cooling Outflow
|
|
|
|
The upstream [cooling outflow](./coolingoutflow.md) which supplies this intake (optional).
